Gary Lineker has urged Everton to 'rally' following Saturday's home defeat by Fulham.
The Blues currently sit one place above the relegation zone and were not helped by results elsewhere yesterday afternoon, with Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Wolves each securing vital victories.
Seven matches remain in Everton's season and it is crucial Sean Dyche's side find a way to dig out results in the same manner witnessed towards the end of last campaign as the Blues battled to beat the drop.

A tough run-in awaits the first-team, who will require no reminding of the damage relegation to the second tier would do. Assessing Everton's final fixtures on Match of the Day, Jermaine Jenas identified two games in particular as being of significant importance.
“Bournemouth at home is going to be a massive game, along with the Leicester game,” said the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder. Touching on the loss to Fulham, Jenas added: “The fans turned on them a bit today, they went a little bit stale, and their performance was a bit down. Goodison Park, when it’s rocking, is when they will get results and points. They need to get back to that as soon as possible.”
Offering his take on what need to happen now, Lineker simply stated: “They need to rally.”
